Mass customization with additive manufacturing : blessing or curse for society?

Schwierzy, Julian; Wenzel, Tobias - 2024

Additive Manufacturing (AM) enables mass customization and has thereby the potential to revolutionize traditional manufacturing. In this paper, we examine how the adoption of AM affects competition and welfare in traditionally standardized product markets. Analyzing a game-theoretical model of...

The demand of heterogeneous labour in Germany

Falk, Martin; Koebel, Bertrand M. - 1997

In this paper, four commonly provided explanations for the shift in labour demand for different skill groups are investigated: the substitutability of inputs; the own-price sensitivity for different types of labour; the effect of economic growth and the impact of technological change. In...

De-routinization in the fourth industrial revolution : firm-level evidence

Arntz, Melanie; Genz, Sabrina; Gregory, Terry; Lehmer, … - 2024

This paper examines the extent to which aggregate-level de-routinization can be attributed to firm-level technology adoption during the most recent technological expansion. We use administrative data and a novel firm survey to distinguish frontier technologies from older technologies. We find...

Convergence of firm-level productivity, globalisation, information technology and competition : evidence from France

Chevalier, Paul-Antoine (contributor); … - 2009

Studies of firm-level data have shown that there is a huge dispersion of productivity across firms even when industries … productive. The formers’ convergence could therefore constitute an important part of productivity growth at the macroeconomic … which can explain it. Productivity convergence was stronger for labour productivity than for total factor productivity. But …
